    Are you a body at rest or resting in the Lord?

    Please continue to hold! Your answer will be available shortly. But realize, when GOD answers, its either yes, no, or wait. Waiting is often the hardest to accept. It often means depriving one’s self. But GOD is still working. He’s working to I. Encourage us: Galatians 6:9 "And let us ...read more

    Healing At Bethesda

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 310 views

    Modern life’s relentless pace and “idol of exhaustion” leave people physically drained and spiritually empty, setting the stage for Jesus’ Sabbath invitation to true rest.

    1. The Weariness We Carry A group of pastors once met in small circles to share their lives. One question asked, “What do you enjoy doing in your spare time—how do you relax?” Again and again the answer came back: “Spare time? I don’t have any.” We fool ourselves if we think this nonstop pace ...read more

    When Persecution Comes Calling

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on May 13, 2024
     | 537 views

    The Church has been missing a valuable tool in fighting oppression. The authority of Christ remains on our lips.

    For anyone that has been following the news there are a growing number of stories that speak of the persecution of Christians. For many, such articles seem surreal, they remain so far removed from our current peaceful existence that we find no reason to try and relate, let alone guard ourselves ...read more

    Grace is the oxygen of heaven—opening the heart, empowering the climb, and transforming resistance into surrender so we can breathe freely at God’s altitude.

    >>> The Voice We Ignore There is a universal gesture that needs no translation. It crosses cultures, languages, borders, and time zones. Teenagers use it. Grandkids use it. Some husbands use it. And nearly every wife has perfected it. It’s the motion that says: “I am not receiving ...read more

     | 124 views

    The Sabbath restores identity, anchors the soul, reveals our Creator and Redeemer, and calls us to remember the God we often forget.

    INTRODUCTION — THE DAY I FORGOT SOMETHING IMPORTANT There’s a small story that still follows me around, even years later. It’s one of those stories that begins harmlessly—nothing dramatic, nothing tragic, nothing you’d write in your journal unless you were trying to laugh at yourself. It ...read more

     | 2,275 views

    Even when we feel drained physically and financially, we still need to offer what resources we do have - and in so doing, find that we can do more than we thought.

    I have a lot of fellow feeling for the disciples in today’s story. I expect all of us who have put so much time and effort into VBS do, too. It’s done! We can put our feet up and have something to eat, talk about how everything went, see how well we did, maybe get a stroke or two for the old ego. ...read more

    Getting Off The Exercise Wheel

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Feb 2, 2011
     | 3,879 views

    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    If overloading ourselves has the ability to cause emotional, relational and spiritual dysfunction, why do we continually do it? The number one reason is that we do not see this as a problem. We simply assume that this is the way that life is and there is nothing that we can do about it. The second ...read more

    It’s a time for resting and relaxing, a time for the cabin and the campground, a time to bask in the surf, sun, and sand; but... does God have any plans for us this summer?
